Its is a gathering place for people new to FreeBSD and sharing experiencies with others. Check out the FAQ at: http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/ That being said, I'd like to mention that there is a document on "Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD" and can be found on your local system: /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall or online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall/ If you have not found it already, you might get some good information from the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html If you still have questions or problems, please post it to freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org with as much information as you think relates to the issue. You'll be asked for more if its not sufficient. This is the best place to ask a question and you'll get the best answers there. I hope the above links are helpful! Best regards, Randy --
